Default Body and Wheel Touch-Up Paint Codes

I'm trying to put together a complete reference guide to the touch-up paint codes used on the C7 (in all of its flavors). Below is what I have so far. If you can fill in any of the blanks or have any corrections, it would be appreciated. Post new info or corrections and I'll update the chart.

Thanks, very helpful

Waiting for the Spectra Gray code, it would look great on either of the machined face wheels in place of the black background. Who knows, maybe GM has plans to offer that.

Dumb question: What company is making these touch up paints, and how/where can we buy them. I have a scratch in my LG C7, and need the base coat to fix it.

Ordered my kit (DSOM) from paintscratch.com last week. Just came in the mail today. Has everything I needed, and they seem to have all the colors. Hope this helps, and good luck!

Yes, that helps! Thanks, Ill look into that tomorrow. I would like a touch up paint that I can but in an air brush. I got a 1" x 1/4" gouge in the front bumper. It will need body work which I can do. I'd really like to avoid painting the whole bumper.

Ouch. Sorry that happened! If you're going to do the work and spray, you're probably better off going to your local auto paint supply and getting them to mix you up a quart and all the other stuff you'll need so you can blend it in and buff it out. Just a thought. Hope it works out.

Thanks for taking the time to put that list together. That will be very helpful to C7 owners.
